RobG is a Bristolian.If you need any parts it might be worth contacting him before you go as he often has a good selection. ;)

Lot to see in Bristol, but I would certainly recommend going down to Bristol Docks and visiting the splendid SS Great Britain:

Also whilst in those parts I would recommend a visit to the Bristol Blue Glass company that, although now relocated, was always worth a view of the blowing process:

Enjoy Emd :y :y :y

Bristol luvly Bristol, ha who am i kidding. Daily Telegraph reported the other month that living down er was the best place in England to be. Lived here for half a century and all i can say is that reporter must have been drugged out of his head when coming up with that conclusion. Likely hood is he bought them here  ???.

Seriously though its shit Get your self some cider and youll be OK  :y :y

Last time I went was to a football match (Northampton v b.city) and I remember thinking it was a beautiful road running past the avon (or severn or whatever).
